Abstract: 1,102,133. Board games. K. F. PARKER. 14 Oct., 1965 [15 Oct., 1964], No. 42111/64. Heading A6H. Apparatus for playing a board game wherein the pieces of one player are hidden from the other player, comprises two playing boards 12 mounted on opposite sides of a casing 10 corresponding playing stations on the two boards being connected electrically so that when opposing playing pieces occupy corresponding stations on the two boards, a circuit to an audible or visible warning device is completed. As particularly described, the game represents a chase between police and smugglers, and the boards are marked with sailing routes superimposed on maps, the playing stations comprising apertures in the boards and corresponding stations on the two boards being linked by metallic strips housed within the casing 10. The playing pieces comprise pins in circuit with a battery and either a bell or a lamp, the latter being operated when opposing playing pieces are bridged by one of the metallic strips. Each player is also provided with a simulated radar screen 14 and compass 13 which can be viewed by the opposing player through a registering aperture 15 in the other side of the casing, and which is used to give each player clues as to his opponent's moves. As disclosed in the Provisional Specification, the boards 12 are horizontal and disposed one on each side of the casing 10.

Abstract: The system allows the transfer of funds between petrol station lessees or petrol station staff and the owner or oil company to be secured in such a way that only the product quantity corresponding to a specific amount of money can in each case be output and the amount of money corresponding to this product quantity must be delivered to a financial institution or the like and product can be output once more at the petrol stations only when more money has been fed into the cash repository. The amount of money fed in is counted in a counter (M) which is connected to an interrupter (X) to interrupt the power supply of all the connected petrol pumps, which interrupter is actuated as soon as the counter is reset via the control logic (K) on the basis of pulses which are generated by the pulse generator (A) and which provide a parameter for the output fuel volume. A further, randomly settable counter (N) which is connected to a further interrupter (Y) for the power supply of the money conveyance is connected to the control logic (K). <IMAGE>

Elongated metallic material, e.g. wire, strip or sheet, is coated with metal by being passed through a chamber at atmospheric pressure which contains vapours of the metal to be deposited. From 5% to 100% of the atmosphere in the chamber consists of metal vapour, any remainder being composed of neutral or non-oxidising gases such as He, Ne, Kr, A, N 2  or cracked NH 3 . As shown, wire 10 is electrolytically cleaned in bath 20, rinsed in water bath 20a, passed through HCl in bath 20b, rinsed in cold water bath 24, rinsed in hot water bath 29, passed through opening 34 into coating chamber 33 and, after its exit through orifice 35, quenched in bath 37. The atmosphere in chamber 33 is derived from containers 50, 51, 52, metal being melted in container 50, the resulting molten metal being heated to a higher temperature in container 51, and the molten metal from this latter container being vaporised in container 52, the. vapour passing into chamber 33 through pipe 55.

The compartment 36 has an access door 45 and a door 95 arranged to close the rear of the compartment when the door 45 is unlocked. The apparatus is controlled by a coded card insertable in a control 32. The insertion of the cord causes the conveyer 30 to move the desired garments to opposite transfer means 55. Thereafter a motor is energized to drive a chain 78 to which the carriage 74 is attached to advance it until by the combination of the pivoting of the hook 79 about its pivot 77 by engagement of a cam follower 84 with a pivoted cam 86 and the dipping caused by the carriage 74 entering the end portion 71 of its track 67 the hangers are engaged and reversal of the motor withdraws the garments into the compartment 36.

Abstract: 1339044 Data processing SIEMENS AG 22 Sept 1971 [30 Sept 1970] 44114/71 Heading G4A [Also in Division H4] In a data transmission system of the kind in which data is exchanged between a plurality of external devices and a data processing system and comprising a unit for interrogating the external devices, a priority network for resolving simultaneous applications for data transfer from the external devices and a number of register sets for storing control information relating to a particular transfer, the number of register sets is less than the number of data channels between the external devices and the data processor and a register set control unit is provided, which, in the event of a transfer application from an external device occurring when all the register sets are occupied, selects one of the register sets and assigns that set to the external device making the application. As described, the control information is stored in a working store AS from where it may be accessed and loaded into any of the register sets. When one of the external devices E requires a data transfer it applies a signal to a channel connected to the transmission system. The unit S on subsequently interrogating that channel loads the address of the device in a register N in the priority network which resolves conflicts when more than one transfer application is received in the same interrogation cycle. Assuming at least one of the register sets RS is free the unit S loads the device address in register N within one of the sets and the relevant control information is loaded in the register set from the store AS. If subsequently a further transfer request is received and all the register sets RS are occupied the register set control unit K is activated. It firstly compares the contents of the registers N within the sets with the address of the requesting unit in register N in the priority unit P. If equality is detected then no further action is necessary as the requesting device already has access to a register set. If inequality is detected then the unit K selects one of the sets in accordance with a predetermined scheme and, following completion of the transfer at present in progress, reloads that set with the address of the requesting external device and the relevant control information. A gating network comprising a comparator, exclusive-OR, OR/NOR, and AND gates is described for performing the function of the register set control unit K.

Title: Process for the recovery of maleic acid anhydride from the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons
Filed: 1962-11-26
Abstract: Maleic acid anhydride, produced by oxidation of hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene is recovered from the hot reaction gases by passing said gases to a condenser which is maintained at a temperature below the condensation point of the anhydride but above the dew point of water, removed the condensed anhydride from the condenser, passing the residual gases, which still contain some anhydride, to a scrubber through which is cycled a concentrated maleic acid solution which extracts the gaseous anhydride, drawing off part of the enriched maleic acid solution from the recycle stream, cooling said part of solution to separate maleic acid crystals, separating the crystals from the major part of the mother liquor and returning said mother to the maleic acid scrubbing solution, passing the wet maleic acid crystals to a heater maintained at a temperature which will re-dissolve the crystals, but is low enough to prevent maleic acid converting to fumaric acid, and passing the resultant liquid as a spray or a gas into the hot gas stream leaving the oxidation reactor, the amount of anhydride recycling to the said reactor gases being substantially equal to the anhydride in the gases leaving the condenser.  The liquid maleic acid from the heater may be passed to a rapid evaporator where it splits into anhydride and water and is subsequently fed to the hot reaction gases as such, or it may be fed to an injector and sprayed into the hot reaction gases as a liquid which subsequently splits into anhydride and water.  The maleic acid anhydride may be recovered from the condenser as a liquid or solid, depending on the temperature maintained therein. The process is illustrated by reference to drawings (not shown).
